Forums - Nintendo Discussion - My Top 10 reasons I hate the new Pokemon.

10. If your rivals were only there to hate, it would be very tiresome. N is a perfect example, it's a full on rival that the player doesn't hate, but it's still memorable.

9. All Pokémon games are easy. I would say that now is more difficult because there's more mecanics to learn.

8. A necesary change. Dragons were to powerful in the 5th gen.

7. Agree. But you must remember that one of the aspects that made the franchise so appealing is that people start playing it from a very young age. If you are 6 years old, every help will be apreciated.

6. Agree too.

5. Really? I thought that wondertrade was an excelent idea. Young players will find more rare pokemon and more competitive players will throw all teir breeding rejects there, one man's trash is other man's treasure.

4. Yes, I got the same feeling too.

3. If people were able to hack the original gens back in the day, they would have done it.

2. Pokemon fanbase is a complicated fanbase. And not everyone will accept all changes, just look at the genwunners.

1. Megaevolution is a way to guve purpose to those pokemon that were never too competitive. How many people used Mawile or Charizard in OU? I don't like when an already powerful mon gets a mega (tyranitar, metagross...), but what can you do?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Also, in reply to everyone saying Pokémon was always easy - Seriously, gen 3 was HARD.

Except Norman's gym, nothing about gen 3 was hard to be honest..

For about the past 5 or 6 years or so, Pokemon has hit rock bottom. Their last masterpeice was Heartgold and Soul Silver, after that, I am displeased with pokemon now. Gens 1-4 were fantastic, but what te hell happened?

This is just my opinion, so please correct me if you feel to do so.

10.) Rivals: Back in the day, it was great to have a rival to go head to head, and it felt great after beating them, but now it seems like just friendly battles that just are unmotivated and just there to be there. This is more of a minor complaint, but I'll continue

9.) Easy: This is self explanatory, it just got too easy.

8.) Fairy type: This was just uneccessary, it was just awful. Terrible idea, Game Freak, Terrible idea.

7.) Spoon-feeding everything: THis is especially in X/Y where everything freaking everywhere is just handed to you like a toddler. It made it that I didn't get toenjoy getting stuff, MYSELF.

6. Air battles: This just annoys me because it has HARDLY ANY USE. What was the point in the first place?

5. Wonder Trade: Have fun getting pokemon yourself? Well, now you can just get all the shiny action replay hacked pokemon you want if you get lucky.  Great idea, Nintendo....

4. Rushed: X/Y was only made in a couple years, which is why there is nothing to do after you beat it. Sad but true.

3. Action Replay: What happened to being fair, now it is just a few button taps away from having every legendary ever. WOW....

2. Fanbase: NO MATTER WHAT the Pokemon company decides to do, fanboys will defend and praise its name, just eagerly loving whatever is thrown at them. Not everybody is like this, but sometimes people are just pathetic in the fanbase, which annoys me.

1: Mega Evolution: All I can say is these are STEROIDS FOR YOUR POKEMON.... that is all I can say....

 

10) There are still rivals, they are as useless as they were in the first generation. Rivals will not give you a challenge but help push a story. The only thing that annoy me is that you have multiple "friends" that speak too much. But it's really a minor point.

9) No, it did not get any easier. The game is as easy as the first one, B/W was a little bit harder than the other but that' s all. If you judge the difficulty of the game by beating the Elite 4, you miss the point completely.

Go online and fight the other players, go in the last city and do try to win the super solo fights. You will see if it's easy.

8) Fairy type is a good addition to the game. More diversity is never bad, you are crying for nothing here. It's like you don't like game moving forward and strategy being deepened. Adding a type is never uneccessary or bad. It also balance the Dragon type.

7) I don't even understand what you are trying  to say here. You have no point.

6) Why do you hate air battle? And then you say you hate it because it has hardly any use? They don't even exist in the other games, it's an innovation of these games and you hate it because it's not used enough? Get real and make up you mind once for all.

5) Wonder Trade? So here you are hurt and hating the game because it let you exchange Pokemon online? Nothing force you echanging Pokemon online, you can still try to catch them offline. Pokemon is a trading based game and it's only logic that you can trade Pokemons online.

4) The post game may be small in Pokemon XY, but the online mode is great and you will find more enjoyment and challenge in battling online that you will ever find in a post game.

3) action replay do'nt work with XY and is not Nintendo's fault.

2) It's not the pokemon fans fault that XY are masterpiece and everything we wanted or almost. You don't like Pokemon, deal with it.

1) Mega evolution is great. Not only it adds a new dimension of strategy (only 1 mega evolution per fight, will he use the mega stone or not on that pokemon?), but it also give whole new lifes to popular Pokemon that were becoming useless like Charizard.

I find it funny how you complain about XY's difficulty, when Pokemon games were always piss-poor easy! Not even RSE, the hardest main Pokemon games, were difficult or annoying!


The only Pokemon game which was challenging was Yellow.

But only because you had to make the game with Pikachu as a starter, and Pikachu refused to evolve as well.

Meh.. Yellow was harder than Red & Blue, but that's not saying much since those games are very easy..

Pokemon needs massive change, it needs to evolve into a more traditional full 3D openworld RPG game. (preferably on console) (possibly a MMO, although that might be to ambitious)

They cant just keep doing the same stuff over and over again. more and more generations of pokemon is just making it worse, its so overwhelming, hundreds of completely forgotten/useless pokemon in the game.

If they make new generations of pokemon they need to completely remove the old ones from the game, would be much better imo.

I don't understand this. Why change a game that many fans like into something new and alienate existing fans? There could always be a completely new game that uses the changed recipe, but why destroy and existing IP for these wishes?
